Title
English: New England hotel souvenir, circa 1905
Description
English:

Seattle's New England Hotel was located south of Mill Street (now Yesler Way), on the corner of First Avenue South and Main Street. In the city's early days, this placed it in the red-light district. The hotel was popular with people heading to the gold rush, and it was a hangout for politicians and campaigners. The hotel's manager, James Weir, also a state representative, ran into trouble with Seattle's mayor and police department in 1901 for operating black jack games in a special balcony added to the hotel. This floral souvenir from Seattle's New England Hotel may have been intened for use as a picture frame. The building itself still stands in the Pioneer Square district.
